Description: In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with Brian Reisinger to examine how U.S. trade policies are impacting family farmers across the country. They break down the long-term effects of NAFTA, the reality of modern trade barriers, and why many farmers are “land rich, cash poor” despite owning valuable property. Reisinger explains why one-size-fits-all trade agreements often leave small and mid-sized farms behind, and what smarter, targeted trade policies could do to protect food security, strengthen rural economies, and preserve economic diversity in American agriculture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
